On Tirerack look up Kosei brand wheels. They're the most reasonably priced light weight wheels I've found. I have a set of 15" K1-TS wheels on my Saturn and I'm relatively happy with them. The 14's weight in at 9.3lbs. The K3 model is also available in a 14 at 10.6 lbs and they're on closeout right now for only $89 each.
I did have to recently replace one of my wheels though. I had a tire I figured had a nail in it and was slowly leaking. When it took it to the tire store they put it under water and immediately had me come back out in to the shop to show me something. The wheel itself was leaking air right where one of the spokes goes to the outer wheel surface. I had never curbed the wheel, but maybe I hit a pothole too hard or something. There is a visible fissure in the metal at the bead. The wheel was almost 3 years old when this happened so I guess I got my use out of it. The wheel is stamped inside as rated for 500kg. I don't have that much weight on it.
I went a little nuts and bought a set of the 14's for my Ford Th!nk Neighbor, haven't had any problems with those.
About the only other option for light weight wheels are Volk which are also known as Rays wheels. Such a size would probably be special order from Japan with at least a 2 month lead time. These wheels would likely be $400-$500 each too! It's something to look at and drool though.
